The COVID-19 pandemic has created a new reality for the ways athletes train, eat and interact with their teammates. The Stay at Home initiative is for the greater good, but nonetheless it is challenging for professional athletes to maintain peak fitness.
As the LA Galaxy team dietitians, we want to make sure our athletes are still fueling their bodies with quality nutrition. When the training moratorium began, every player received individualized nutrition plans and Herbalife Nutrition products to support the demands of the at-home training programs. To keep the fun-spirit of the team environment, we decided to come up with engaging nutrition competitions and virtual learning sessions.
